"Well, well. Isn't this a surprise?" Raynare stopped kicking her legs when she heard an unfamiliar voice. "Another fallen angel, huh? Another mouth to feed...Oh well." Raynare said something, but her words were muffled by the snow. "Sorry, what was that? Didn't quite catch it." Raynare growled in frustration, sensing this man was not going to pull her out, and decided she would get herself out of the snow.
After a few minutes of struggling, she was finally able to break loose and get herself out of the snow. When she hoisted herself away from the snow, she shook her head to get rid of the snow that was on her body. "About time I got the hell out of there!" Raynare snarled to herself before she shivered from the cold temperature.
"Well, looks like your all dressed up for winter." She heard the unfamiliar males voice say before she quickly turned around to see who was talking.
The fallen angel turned to him with a scowl. "Shut up." He simply laughed in response.
"So, what are in for?" He asked with a smirk.
"They said I have a "bad attitude." Raynare said bitterly.
"Really? Can't see why."
"I don't think I like your tone."
"Yeah?"
Raynare scowled and turned away with a huff.
"I'm out of here!" Raynare told him as she spread out her wings and took off. Unfortunately for her, her wings were stiff from the cold and she fell down straight away with her upper body buried and her legs sticking out of the snow. Raynare started to cuss when she ended up in the same predicament as the one she just got out from. The mysterious man laughed at her plight.
"Yeah, your're really going places ,aren't you little miss Fallen Angel?" He asked her sarcastically as he started to slowly walk over to where she landed.
"F* CK YOOOOOOOOOOOU!" Was Raynare's muffled reply. The man sidestepped as the fallen angel kicked at him.
"Well, if you're gonna be like that, maybe I won't help you out of there." He said in a mock angry tone.
"...I'm sorry." Raynare said angrily, stopping her leg movements.
"Good girl."
He then grabbed one of her legs and gave a might yank, pulling her out completely. After laying her down, he walked back two steps as she got back on her feet.
"DAMN IT! THIS F*CKING WEATHER SUCKS!" Raynare yelled out loud.
"Maybe you should wear some proper winter clothes." Azazel suggested.
"I can't! Every time I want to fly, my stupid powers force me into these damn clothes!"
"Ah. Sucks to be you, then."
"Shut up."
"Well, you're a fallen angel...Come on."
"What? Where?"
"My place. It's my job to take Fallen Angels under my wing until they find their own place to stay."
Raynare gavehim an uncertain look with an eyebrow raised. "Just who are you?" She asked him, causing him to smirk.
"Why, I am the one and only Azazel." The now introduced Azazel told Raynare with a mocking, one arm bow. "And like you, I am a Fallen Angel that was casted out of Heaven."
Raynare only stared at him before walking away.
Azazel shrugged. "Hey, if you wanna freeze to death in the streets, that's your choice." Raynare's eyes widened, and she immediately dashed back to the angel's side.
"...Lead the way please."
"I thought you'd say that." Azazel pointed his arm to the direction he came from. "My house and your new sanctuary is this way my dear." Azazel said as he proceeded to walk towards his house. Raynare sighed and followed him. 'I hope I don't regret this.' She thought as she followed the male Fallen Angel.
Soon enough, they were inside Azazel's house. Raynare sighed in relief from the warmth. She saw a fireplace, and immediately bolted towards it, holding her hands near the flames.
"That's better..." She said quietly. Azazel smirked.
"Your bed's over there." He gestured to the couch.
Raynare looked over to where he was pointing towards and scowled at seeing the couch. "What the Hell?! Why do I have to sleep on the couch?!" Raynare yelled with a glare aimed towards Azazel.
If he was fazed at all, he did a great job hiding it. "Well, if the couch doesn't suit you, then maybe you could sleep on the floor, or better yet, outside in the ice cold weather. Azazel stated, his smirk still in place. Raynare flinched at the mention of sleeping outside.
"F*ck it, the couch is fine." Raynare said reluctantly.
This caused Azazel's smirk to widen. "Good, I'll get you a blanket for your bed while you warm up." He told her before walking away.
Raynare sighed and climbed onto her new "bed." Her eyes widen in surprise. It was surprisingly comfortable. The fallen angel let out a yawn, then fell asleep almost instantly.
Azazel walked in with a blanket, then saw that she was already asleep. Shrugging, he tossed the blanket on top of her and walked out of the room.
'At least it'll be quiet for a few hours.'
It wasn't until the next morning that Raynare woke up from her pleasant sleep. "Ugg, what time is it?" Raynare yawned out as she sat up and stretched. Her attention was then taken by foot steps coming towards her.
"Well, well, well. Look who's finally awake." Azazel said as he stopped by the couch.
Raynare looked up at the male fallen angel in irritation.
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Well, you DID sleep 'till 12:00 in the afternoon..." Azazel said coolly.
"12:00, huh?" Raynare said. "I'd better go check on the kid, then..."
"What kid?"
"Later!" Raynare shouted as she leapt out the window and unfurled her wings.
"...Still winter. Still cold." Azazel said calmly as Raynare fell past his window.
"F****CK!" Raynare yelled as she landed face first into the snow, making a slight indent in the ground.
"Nice day for flying isn't it?" Azazel said merrily as he drank from a cup of coffee that he didn't have before.
"F*CK YOU!" Raynare said as she quickly got herself back up and tried to fly again, this time actually about to stay airborne as she flew to the house where she met Harry.
"She's certainly an interesting one isn't she?" Azazel said to himself as he chuckled and returned to his coffee.
'DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!' Raynare said as she tried to fly while ignoring the fact that she is freezing and snow was piling up on her wings.
The house was finally in sight, and she sighed with relief...only for too much snow to build up in her wings, causing her to crash with a scream in the little boy's backyard.
Harry stiffened when he heard a WHUMP sound. Slowly, he turned to see someone's butt poking out of the snow.
Harry blinked in confusion at seeing someone's butt poking out of the snow. Slowly, he approached it, slightly intimidated by the muffled, angry yelling that came from underneath.
"GDDMMITGMEOOFHRSNABTCH"
Harry blinked, then reached out to poke it, curious to know what it was.
But before he was able to poke Raynare's butt, she started to wiggle fiercely in an attempt to get out of her current predicament. This frightened Harry, and he ran for it. 'No! It's going to hurt me!' Harry thought as he ran behind the same shed he hid behind yesterday.
After a moment of inactivity, Harry slowly peeked around the shed. Whatever it was sticking out of the snow, it was still moving. The little boy hid again, then peeked out. He blinked. Something about the muffled voice he heard seemed strangely familiar...
"FOR F*CK SAKES!" Raynare yelled in frustration as she continued and failed to get out of the ground. After a few minutes of struggling, she tireD herself out and breathed in exhaustion. "Why...must...this...be...DIFFICULT!" Raynare said in-between breaths.
Harry slowly approached the object sticking out of the ground. He was sure he had seen it somewhere before... Curious, he began moving snow out of the way, wanting to see what it was.
'Okay, Raynare, just calm down and focus.' Raynare told herself as she slowly wiggled her arms to in front of her and push while twisting her body left and right repeatedly. And to her immediate joy, she could feel herself getting loose and free inch by inch. "YES! IT'S WORKING!" Raynare yelled in victory.
After a few moments, the rest of Raynare's body erupted out of the snow, causing Harry to stumble back in surprise. Raynare glared down at the snow, and spat on it. Then, she looked around the yard until her eyes met Harry's.
"Hey, kid." She said. "I'm back."
"Y-You're...real..." Harry said softly as he approached the winged woman.
"Uh...yeah, I said that I was coming back wasn't I" She said as she closed her eyes and smirked. She was unprepared when she felt something touch her and wrap around her. She eyes snapped open, and she looked down to see that Harry had ran towards her and hugged her while she wasn't paying attention.
"I-I thought that I made you up, and that you weren't real." Harry told her and he shook.
Raynare blinked and awkwardly rubbed his head.
"Uh...Don't cry, kid, it's...okay. I'm...here now..."
"Um...I-It's not that..."
"What do you mean?" A cold gust of wind blew by, causing the child's shaking to intensify, and Raynare immediately understood that he was no better prepared for this weather than she was.
She immediately wrapped him up in her wings to make him warm, then scooped him up into her arms. "There, now you won't freeze out here." She said warmly as Harry snuggled up to her. Raynare couldn't help but feel warmth where her heart was when he snuggled up to her.
"Why were you out here anyway?" She asked in a much gentler tone than she thought herself capable of as she looked down at the child.
"Um...I have to get the snow out of the yard..." Harry replied softly. "...You're really warm..." He rested his head against her bosom.
She smiled at his comment about how warm she was before looking around the yard to stare at all the snow. 'This is a lot of snow for such a little guy to be shovelling all by himself, especially when he's not even protected from this f*cking cold.' Raynare thought before smirking when she had an idea. 'Maybe I can give him a little...assistance.'
The raven-haired woman found just the right spot, then stepped into it. She unfurled her wings from around the child, earning a soft whine of protest...
WHOOSH!
The fallen angel flapped her wings in the snow's direction, causing every ounce of the white powder to fly over the fence. Harry stared in awe, an hour's worth of work done in mere seconds.
"So, now that that's out of the way, what do you say we get to know each other a little more?" Raynare said as she sat down by the side of the shed. Harry looked up at the fallen angel, then her wings. Curiously, he reached out and began slowly running his fingers through the feathers of the angel's wings.
His eyes were full of wonder as he felt the soft texture of Raynare's feathers. "They're so soft." Harry said softly as he continued to brush his fingers on her feathers.
Raynare smiled at this. 'Awww, that's adorable.' Raynare thought.
After Harry had had his fill of inspecting her wings, he looked up at her with huge, interested eyes. Raynare could stand it no more. She may not be the kindest person on the planet, but any female would have melted like butter at the sight of those eyes. And so, the fallen angel let out a soft squeal of delight and hugged the little boy close to her chest.
"You are too freaking adorable, kid!" She squealed as she nuzzled the top of his little head.
Harry was surprised by her sudden affectionate contact, but he wasn't going to complain as he basked in her warm touch.
He hummed in content as he listened to her heart. Raynare, seeing how content he was, smiled warmly and rubbed the back of his head. His leaned into her touch as soon as she started.
The two of them stayed like that for three hours. Raynare had been speaking gently to him, telling him stories and answering questions he may have had. Harry felt...safe and at ease.
Then he heard the familiar sound of the door being thrown open.
"BOOOOOOY!" A very large man that looked like a walrus stormed out, yelling at the top of his lungs. "GET IN HERE NOW!"
Harry flinched and looked scared while Raynare looked shocked. "BOOOOOOY!" A very large man that looked like a walrus stormed out, yelling at the top of his lungs. "GET IN HERE NOW!"
Harry flinched and looked scared while Raynare looked shocked. 'Oh sh*t! Need to get out of here...' She thought to herself as she looked at Harry. "Look Harry, I need to go before he sees me. I'll be back tomorrow." She told the frightened Harry.
Harry opened his mouth, as if dying to tell her something, then clamped it shut and nodded. Raynare placed him down on the ground, caressed his cheek, then took off into the air. Once she was sure she wouldn't be seen, she looked back down at the house.
Harry was looking up at her while being dragged inside.
She could swear he was looking at her in desperation, begging her not to leave him.
But before she could clarify what she saw, Harry was grabbed by his uncle and dragged in the house. With a mighty slam, the back door was slammed and she wasn't able to see him anymore. With a sigh, she took off and made her way to Azazel's house.
'I miss the little guy already...At least I'll see him again tomorrow.' Raynare told herself as she flew all the way back with out falling once.
Already, she couldn't wait to see him tomorrow.
